6/21/25 | Former MLB Executive Pitches Trade That Would Help Detroit Tigers Division Rival. The Detroit Tigers have opened up a comfortable lead in the American League Central with a 48-28 record. Owning the best mark in baseball, they are currently 9.5 games ahead of the Cleveland Guardians in what they are hoping to turn into a runaway divisional race. Can the Tigers keep up the incredible pace they have been on thus far? Parker Meadows returning to play center field means Javier Baez can play more shortstop, but third base remains a huge need.

6/06/25 | Week 11 Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire: Parker Meadows, Jo Adell Lead Outfielders. Whether it's Parker Meadows returning strong from injury, Wenceel Perez riding early momentum, or Jo Adell finding his rhythm, savvy fantasy managers should be watching closely. Last season, Medows made the Tigers' opening day lineup out of spring training, but his empty bat (.096/9/2/11 over 73 at-bats with 32 strikeouts) led to a demotion to AAA in early May. Meadows regained his form in the minors (.292 over 202 at-bats with 39 runs, eight home runs, 25 RBIs, and 19 stolen bases). Detroit slipped back in their starting lineup over the final two months, leading to much better results (.296/28/6/23/5 over 186 at-bats).

6/02/25 | Tigers reinstate Parker Meadows from injured list, option outfielder, DFA pitcher. CHICAGO -- The Detroit Tigers have reinstated outfielder Parker Meadows from the 60-day injured list for this week's series against the Chicago White Sox. Outfielder Justyn-Henry Malloy was optioned to Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move. To create a 40-man roster spot for Meadows, recently acquired right-handed pitcher Ryan Cusick was designated for assignment. Meadows, 25, suffered an upper-arm nerve injury on Feb. 22 during the first exhibition game of spring training . He went nearly two months without even throwing as he waited for the nerve to “wake up,” then gradually ramped up his activity over the last couple of weeks, culminating with a two-week rehab assignment in Toledo and Lakeland.

5/24/25 | Tigers Getting Star Utility Man Back at Perfect Time as Injuries Pile Up. The Detroit Tigers are currently holding onto the best record in all of Major League Baseball, but in the marathon that is a full season, injuries occur and teams have to weather storms. To their credit, the Tigers have done an incredible job of doing just that to start the year with numerous position players out, especially in the outfield. One of last season's brightest spots in center fielder Parker Meadows is just now starting a rehab assignment and other injuries have forced Javier Baez to be incredibly versatile and move to the outfield. Manager A.J. Hinch revealed Friday as star left fielder Riley Greene was out of the lineup that he was dealing with an issue which required a day off, and Hinch made it seem like the team was starting to run on fumes in terms of health.

5/13/25 | Tigers could acquire $50 million Silver Slugger from AL Central rival at deadline.

5/09/25 | Tigers notebook: What's next for Parker Meadows in injury recovery?. As Parker Meadows works his way back from an injury, his unexpected replacement in center field, Javier Báez, recently offered some playful motivation. Jokes aside, Báez has looked like a natural in center field. Meadows established himself as one of the top defensive center fielders in the game in 2024, and his spring injury -- along with subsequent injuries to Matt Vierling and Wenceel Pérez -- appeared to leave a gaping hole in the heart of the Tigers' defense.

After a slow start, Meadows finished the 2024 season by hitting .299 with an .857 OPS over his final 213 plate appearances while playing outstanding defense.
